tour is sponsored by Bavaria, supported by Alomo Bitters and hosted by PY of
The One Show. Efya was her usual best and set the crowd to do the usual thing
with her.The
eclectic crowd went absolutely wild when Afro Harmony, a live band of young
musicians, warmed up their instruments by playing hits from both the Highlife
and Hiphop genre, making both young and old sing and dance. The beautiful
display of lights, LED images and crisp powerful sound coming from the Big In
Ghana stage attracted many people from all over the neighbourhood.

The
concert opened with the talent competition winners. The well-composed Ohene
Amoako (Tema) set it off with his song ‘So Mu Gyi’, followed by powerful
duo NT4 (Kumasi), the free spirited Anas (Takoradi) and the crowd favorite Bryt
(Accra) who together with his little brother managed to send the crowd into
deafening applause.
After
the talent competition, Yaa Pono took to the stage like the boss and he performed
hits like ‘Oh Joe’, ‘I Dey Feel You Die’ which featured Faint Medal and ‘Shopping
Mall’ and every member of the crowd sang and rapped along. The sultry
songstress Efya left the crowd in awe of her majestic grace and powerful voice
singing her hit songs ‘Sexy Wahala’, ‘Little Things’ and ‘Best In Me’ to
mention a few. She pleasantly surprised the fans by ending her set by
re-inviting Yaa Pono on stage to perform their collaborative song ‘Good Morning’.
The
FOKN Bois (M3NSA and Wanlov the Kubolor) sealed the night with an eclectic
collection of their music both individually and as a group. Their performance
was as wonderfully engaging as their often controversial lyrics. They got the
crowd singing, dancing and laughing as they performed songs like ‘Sometimes’, ‘Thank
God We’re Not A Nigerians’ and ‘Ko Ti Eduro’. Energetic Wanlov shocked the
crowd by tugging away at his skirt to reveal bright pink panties. The crowd
lost their mind.
In
addition to enjoying free live performances by their favorite musicians, the
crowd got the chance to win ‘Big In Ghana’ merchandises as well as souvenirs
and drinks from the sponsors. The ‘Big in Ghana Talent Hunt & Tour’ is an
initiative of Africa Unsigned and FOKN Bois, sponsored by Bavaria, supported by
Alomo Bitters. It witnessed auditions across Takoradi, Tema, Kumasi and Accra
in search of new talent to give them a platform to launch their career in
music. Four winners were chosen from the various cities to tour alongside the
FOKN Bois, Efya and Yaa Pono.
From
September 3 to 9, the public gets to
vote via SMS for an ultimate winner who will get over GH¢ 20,000 worth of
prizes, including a cash prize of GH¢ 3,000, a recording deal, professional
video, management and promotion. A TV series of the Big in Ghana Talent Hunt
and Tour is broadcast by Multi-TV and E TV.
